Hi,

You could use a combination of Box, Label and Edit controls. Place the
labels within a vertically aligned box.
Then remove the labels from the edit controls. This xml will add a new group
to the Home tab with 2 labels and edit boxes.

Hi Ron,

This will size the boxes themselves, which is half the battle, but the
labels are text and are still a problem. I can insert a blank space but
the
spaces are sometimes too wide or too narrow to line things up; it looks
better, but is still a problem.

Please let me know if you learn any more or have any further ideas.

Thanks for the tip!

Try to set the width with

sizeString="WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW W"

In the ribbon, when I set up two edit boxes, one above the other, they
don't
line up because the text in the labels are different widths...it looks
pretty
ugly...how can I get the edit boxes to line up correctly or perhaps
right
align?

Thanks!
